Sample Engagements

• For a lessor Southern California county transit authority, we established market value of its 32-mile right of way along a railroad corridor to help it negotiate a rent renewal with multiple oil/gas pipeline lessees.
Valuation: near $19 million.

• For a Central California school district, we prepared a limited valuation study of three alternative grammar school sites containing over 40 residential parcels each to help the district decide which site might be subject to a condemnation action critical to a central-city urban renewal project.
Valuation range: $2.3 to $4.3 million

• For a Northern California city, we valued a proposed library site in a high-growth area quickly transitioning from farmland to residential to help the city support a State Grant application for library funding.
Valuation: over $1.3 million.

• For a Central California school district, we valued multiple school locations in order to support the collateralization of general obligation bond financing.
Valuation: $6 million combined.

• For a City airport authority exploring development of the remainder of an industrial park it owned, we valued the existing master leased fee so that the City could negotiate in condemnation with the sublessee interest holder.
